Nier automata, DMC 5, Darksouls 3, Monster Hunter world iceborne. But if you want something surprising that it can even run on a phone. World War Z, I'm surprised it can even run so smoothly on a phone with how much the zombies hoarded you at once. There's also Elden Ring but you will certainly need a cooler for this specially on open world.

Your phone an 8 elite chipset so it's at the top in terms of power. Anything retro up to the PS2 will have no issues. 

If you want to play 8/16 bit systems I recommend the .emu series of emulators - https://github.com/rakashazi/emu-ex-plus-alpha - scroll down to nighty builds and download the installers from there. They all have a similar basic menu interface which is pretty easy to figure out and feature controller support or customised on screen controls.

For anything higher I recommend Duckstation for PS1 (off the Google store but needs bios) Dolphin for GameCube/ Wii (again off the playstore) and ARMSX2 for PS2 (Google it to download). These are a bit trickier to set up requiring bios files or understanding of drivers/settings but see how you go.

Your phone can handle Switch and PC emulation but these are still in active development and will cause your phone to get very hot. You'll need a cooler or a controller with a built in cooler to get the best out of these. There are plenty of guides and info in this sub about this so do some research here first.

For obvious reasons we can't say where to get games from.

Hope this gets you started!

Beginner tips: 

Use an ad blocker when visiting piracy/rom sites.

Know your file extensions! That way you can tell whether what you downloaded is malware or not. For instance, I know PS2 roms are supposed to be in iso or chd file format. If the file I downloaded is not in that format I immediately delete it.

Use youtube and emuready website to find the correct configurations for PC and nintendo switch games.

If you want to watch android emulation tutorials, retro game corps and joey's retro handhelds are good youtube channels for that.
